The Pirates triumphed 2-1 this past weekend, securing the bragging rights for the black and white half of Soweto. Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns inched closer to an eighth consecutive title, winning 2-0 against Cape Town City.
But that's not all! SuperSport and Richards Bay also claimed important victories, bringing them a bit closer to safety. Let's dive into the Weekend Winners and Losers!
Winners
🔥 Mamelodi Sundowns
A run of five consecutive draws may have soured their Champions League campaign, but Sundowns are masters of turning on the style at home. They've dismantled teams easily all season. Here's the lowdown:
🔢 54: Sundowns currently boast 54 goals from just 24 league games this season, making them the first team in PSL history to surpass 50 goals after only 24 games.
🔥 Iqraam Rayners
Two Sundowns players are registering 20+ involvements this season, but Iqraam Rayners is the unsung hero. He's already registered 9 assists and needs just one more to become the first player this season to reach double figures for both goals and assists.
🔥 Orlando Pirates and Jose Riveiro
Regardless of the closing of the title window, Pirates fans are still celebrating their derby triumph. Jose Riveiro continues to write history:
🔢 30: If you count all competitions, Pirates have reached a historic 30 wins this season – a first in PSL history.🏆 2: Riveiro is the first Pirates coach to complete more than one league double over the Chiefs.
🔥 Richards Bay and SuperSport United
Richards Bay played with 10 men for nearly half an hour in their game against TS Galaxy but still managed to secure the win – their second away victory of the season. Meanwhile, SuperSport moved out of the relegation zone with their win against Chippa United.
🔥 Stellenbosch's Away Form
Don't sleep on Stellenbosch's impressive away form – they've lost only two away games this season, the fewest of all teams.
Losers
💔 Cape Town City
City are in danger of squandering their season after losing 15 league games this campaign – a first in their PSL history. They have two Hail Mary games left, an away trip to Polokwane and a home derby against Stellenbosch.
💔 Kaizer Chiefs
The Chiefs' woes continue, recording their 12th league defeat of the season. One more loss in their final two games could set an unwanted record for the most losses in a single season (they've also lost 12 in each of the last two seasons).
- In the upcoming betting, consider wagering on the heated Orlando Pirates versus Kaizer Chiefs sports match, as the Pirates have demonstrated their dominance by winning 2-1, causing the Chiefs to nearly fall behind.
- The Mamelodi Sundowns football club might have faced a setback with five consecutive draws in the Champions League, but their home performances have shown they are a force to be reckoned with, reminiscent of a tournament-winning team.
- The unsung hero of the Sundowns soccer team, Iqraam Rayners, has already registered 9 assists and is only one away from being the first player this season to reach double figures for both goals and assists.
- Despite losing to Orlando Pirates, Jose Riveiro, the coach of Pirates, has made history by securing 30 wins this season so far, a first in PSL history, and completing more than one league double over the Kaizer Chiefs.
- Stellenbosch's soccer team, known for their impressive away form, have lost only two away games this season, the fewest of all teams, demonstrating their resilience even in challenging circumstances.
